seems to he an ardent admirer {
HOu. john q. Carlisle, and make
: the following use OF some OF hi
wise expressions:
The following extract from tn
address delivered by the Hon. Johl
u. Carlisle to the Democratic Clul
of C~ovingtoB, who entertained bin
Tuesday evening, ought TO be past
ed in the hat of every Democrat II
The land ::
At the close of the war there wa
practically no Democratic party
till 1884 it was out of powerful
members were as completely ostra
eIZed in the General Government
as if they were aliens. But in al
this zine they never wavered
They had a political faith TO pre-
serve, IA faith laid down in the Con.
siltuiion as interpreted by JEFF
ferSOn aud Madison. In 1876 they
scared a majority of the popular
vote, and, in my opinion, never
from bat time has there been a
moment when Democratic princi.
piles have not been to secure the
suffrage OF a large majority OF the
American peorie. call these facts
TO mind to emphasize the import
ance of your standing by your prin-
cipleS. The most dangerous man 20
any enemy is he who has honest
convictions and will stand by them
aud fight for them. A political
party a be Of no Use ia any coun-
try unless it has principles and is
prepared TO assert aud is ready even
TO stake its existence upon them.
But men can not be held together
III a party unless they have common
sentiments aud common purposes.
Having these, this club eau he a
great aid in advancing tue Demo
cratic party, and a; the same time,
disseminate sound political doc
trInes, aud never has there been
greater need of this than now.
The country is toll of yagaries and
theories concerning property and
the relation of the Government to
tue people. There are some per.
sons who would have the Govern
ment become a great eleemOsynary
institution, aud have it raise mOney
TO be dispensed among the people
IN the States, some people, who
want ii tn own and control all the
railroads, some who want it to enter
the private business of individuals
BIZ granting them subsidies. II is
impossible. in fact, to discuss all
the projects whose only aim is to
rob the tax payers for the benefit
OF special Individuals. On these
questions the Democratic party
must take its stand. IL is the oldest
and most conservative of all parties,
and II must meet aud overcome
these insidiOus and dangerous
teachings aud attempts. 1t must
as the party of law aud order,
the people, for equal laws, for
the right of individuals TO conduct
their pe-sOual business as they de-
UuleSs it does this it will
;ease TO be useful, and when a par
~ leases TO be useful it xill cease
% exist
Such language is highly ap?ro-
at tGiS particular crisis, and
calculated TO benefit both siaunch
and milk aud water con.
servaiives. Democrats should
firmly by the old eoIors and
brook no Invasion under whatever
disguise. That is as much the
luiy of every nan who processes
he a Democrat now as it was in
SO or at any other period, and we
'ould advise them 10 ponder over
lie above wise and considerable re-
marks of Mr. Carlisle. 1t is a ques.
ion Of vital importance to the
Democratic party of today.
